Your choice of words is key. Florida does not require a permission slip to teach African American history, but Florida's vague law compels public schools to require parental consent for virtually any activity. Puedes tapar el sol con un dedo pero the light still shines through.

Thanks to the new regulation from
@POTUS
, Florida will no longer be able to enforce waiting or lockout periods on children eligible for health coverage through KidCare/CHIP, ensuring continuous access to vital health services! Thanks, Joe!
Today the Biden Administration issued a final regulation on Medicaid + CHIP eligibility w/ some important wins for children.
These critical policy changes will help to protect children from harmful gaps in their health insurance coverage.

Florida refused to accept federal $ for Summer EBT to feed our children, but has no problem putting them to work - on roofs, ladders, and overnight.
“Florida opts out 250 million in summer food aid for families.” The worst part about this and lack of Medicaid expansion is that Florida voters have paid their taxes into this and will not be getting their fair share.
